Yeast Overgrowth (mouth, Vagina, Butt)

I have lived my whole life off and on with vaginal yeast infections, and soreness around the anal area.

Last week, on the back of my tongue, I discover these white bumps. I went to my PCP and when he looked in my mouth, his first reaction was OOOOOOOOOOOO! I do not know what that is! Wow! Could he use a little bedside manners training. Needless to say, he gave me 2 scripts, one for Majic mouthwash and one for Nystatin. Wish I'd have filled the Nystatin 1st! The first script seemed to be doing nothing but numb my mouth and lips. So, after I filled the Nystatin and had taken it for 3 days, the white bumps are leaving very fast. Today, I had a dental cleaning and was told it was indeed a yeast overgrowth. I came home and after doing some research on wikapedia, I'm thinking I might have celiacs disease, because I have a lot of the symptoms.

I'm thinking maybe I need to follow the celiac diet and try a different approach to end this life long Yeast Infection Somewhere syndrome. Has anyone out there in cyber world ever shared any similar, long term, ongoing, chronic Yeast problems? I would appreciate any backfeed!!!!

I can relate to the yeast problems, although mine started after about 5 years of being on the gluten free diet and feeling good. Didn't know what was going on for so long - no doctors did either. I found the work of Dr. Crook (The Yeast Connections & Womens Health). It helped me a lot. I adjusted my diet and took Nystatin. Yeast overgrowth can be attributed to many different things - you might want to learn more about what it's connected to before just going gluten free. Hope this helps!

I found it on Amazon. He's got other books, too. There is also a website www.yeastconnection.com

Good luck!

After treatment for a bladder infection during my 20s, I developed a vaginal yeast infection. My doctor just told me that switching to another antibiotic (for the bladder infection) would eliminate the yeast infection. 40 years ago most docs didn't understand the connection between antibiotic treatment and developing overgrowths from other 'bugs'. (Some modern docs STILL don't get it.) Nobody ever mentioned taking probiotics back then. Fortunately the vaginal yeast symptoms disappeared and I believed the doctor's logic.

However 30 years later when I give a stool test for bacteria, parasites and yeasts, I learned that I had candida overgrowth in my intestines. I had also endured candida symptoms during all those years. By that time I had been diagnosed with celiac and 6 otherfood allergies. So I did NOT want to limit my diet any more to treat candida. I didn't consume a lot of sugary treats, but I did consume fruits, which are often banned from 'anti-candida diets'. So I treated my candida with nystatin AND daily probiotics (to restore normal good bacteria to my gut as the yeast was killed by nystatin). Nystatin was very easy to take (after initial nausea symptoms for about 3 days). So I took nystatin for about 4 months. On the next stool test I had NO candida.

So I suggest you continue to treat your candida with nystatin. You don't need to follow a special resrictive diet, but you DO need to take high dose probiotics to restore your gut health as Nystatin kills off the candida.

Chronic yeast infections have been linked to Celiac and other auto-immune diseases.

If you are going to get tested for Celiac you have to continue eating gluten until the testing is done.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankle...

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I also noticed I get debilitating migraines when I smell gluten, wheat and its not taken seriously when it affects one in every way.Im still begging to properly be heard.I also noticed tolerance level is down the drain with age and life changes. I have been told by incompetent medical that im not celiac or that sensitive. Diagnosed in 1994 by gi biopsy gluten-free ever since along with other lovely food allergies. Prayers
